Recently rediscovered My Heritage’s “Look-A-Like” app where you can upload photos of different people and it will tell you who looks more like whom. (Usually you’d upload pictures of two parents and their child to see who the child resembles the most but we also experimented with comparing my aunt to my sister and I […]
I would’ve sworn I posted this video around Pace’s first day of kindergarten but apparently, I only put it on Facebook. So, instead of a rare re-post of a Music Monday song which I thought it would be, this video gets to be posted for the first time here to celebrate Pace’s kindergarten graduation today. […]
Hard to believe that tomorrow is Pace’s kindergarten graduation. The past year has flown by in so many ways – when the year started, Pace was an only child; now he’s a big brother. When the year started, he was still working on learning his alphabet, now he’s regularly writing out complete sentences (phonetically – […]
I’ve written about Sam Baker before – a Texas singer-songwriter whose ultra-streamlined literary style and unique vocals have drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen: Baker captivated me. His songs are closely observed narratives of eccentric and marginalized people finding meaning in seemingly defeated lives–almost like Leonard Cohen’s, if Cohen had been a Baptist raised in West […]
Regina’s main summer fair is the Queen City Ex in August but there’s a smaller fair that sets up earlier in the summer each year in the parking lot of a random local mall. The wristbands for unlimited rides costs the same as the “big” fair but there’s no gate admission charge and instead of […]
For the past month, my Aunt Sandi has been visiting from Kelowna. Having lived most of her life in Regina, she moved to Kelowna when my grandfather was getting older to look after him and ended up staying there after he passed away. We sure miss having her in Regina but love her annual visits […]
Went out to Katepwa Lake to put the pier in with my dad, uncle and cousin today as well as do a few other chores to get the cottage ready for the season. I think the caption for the following photo is: “Working Hard or Hardly Working?” 😉 My cousin drew the short straw […]
Shea and her first baby on his sixth birthday… (Well, the actual day is tomorrow but the party’s today which is causing a bit of stress for Pace – “But if my birth day’s tomorrow, how can we have the party today???”)
I’ve been taking at least a photo of Sasha every day since she was born. I’d seen various videos made from daily pics of babies, kids and others over the years but didn’t put a lot of thought into doing this with Sasha until, oh, pretty much the day she was born. While hanging out […]
So as much as I’d like to just keep posting pictures of Sasha, eventually I’ve got to get back to blog posts that have “letters” and “words” rather than cute pictures. A good place to start would be with a look back at that first day, inspired partly by many of the notes I scribbled […]
